I suggest that you consider having your ETA rebuilt; as was stated in earlier posts, "Beckmann Industries" successfully rebuilds ETAs and you get a one (1) warranty. Something for you to consider.

Check out MENU#24 on my web pages, to see some ETA rebuilds and schematics. It's for a "W140" but the concepts are the same.

And one other point; I would thoroughly investigate your wiring harness . . . BEFORE doing any parts replacment! For your car, the wiring harness MUST be replaced and if it hasn't, then those failures could be caused by it as it deteriorates.

The MB dealer will NOT stand behind a replacement of both parts and then if they find a 'suspect' wiring harness, you will have to pay AGAIN to have it replaced. The dealer has no scruples.
